About
I am a first year student at the University of Toronto, studying Life Sciences. I wish to pursue medicine in the future, and dream of becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon. My past medical experience at MEDCAN, and in medical clubs such as UTM Pre-Medical Club, UTM Students for SickKids, Health-and-Wellness Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) Program; Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA); and Surgeon's Club all account for my deep passion in medicine.
My leadership experiences in Samsung Canada, Ontario Legislature, Debate Club and made me well-rounded and open-minded. I am responsible, organized, and have excellent time-management, research/writing, technical, MS Excel, and interpersonal communication skills. I am open and excited to join any opportunity!
